Assertion: Mg gets oxidised when heated ...

Assertion: Mg gets oxidised when heated in `CO_(2)` atmosphere.
Reason: Mg has a strongly affinity for oxygen.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is false but reason is true

D

If assertion is true but the reason is false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`2Mg+CO_(2) overset(Delta)(to)2MgO+C`
Mg is a strong agent and have great affinity for `O_(2)` at high temperature.
